> That’s how I felt! I didn’t feel “good” or “bad” regarding either category, so the whole thing kind of made me crazy. It was like, I don’t associate those words with those ideas. I was just stammering around the whole thing trying to keep it straight.

Same here, I was thinking things like white = left and black = right, and good = left and bad = right. And suddenly white and black switched sides but good and bad stayed where they were. It confused the shit out of me and I kept putting white people on the black side and “terrible” on the good side and so on.
